Myth Beyond Heaven

Yun Lintian was curious about Qing Xiaoting's true identity and how she could live to the present.

Qing Xiaoting glanced at Jian Wuming, and the latter quickly excused himself.

After sending Jian Wuming away, she erected a powerful isolating barrier and said. "Five thousand years ago, I was an ordinary village girl who lived in Clear Sky Village beneath this Heaven Piercing Peak."

"One day, my village was raided by bandits, and my parents sacrificed themselves in order to let me and my younger brother escape… Unfortunately, we had encountered a powerful profound beast along the way."

A hint of sorrow appeared in her usually calm and clear eyes as she said further. "At the crucial moment, my younger brother pushed me away, and he was killed in front of me."

Yun Lintian and the others went silent. They didn't expect her to have such a tragic past.

Qing Xiaoting said further. "After he died, the profound beast didn't stop and turn its attention to me… When death was imminent, a meteor suddenly fell from the sky and landed on a nearby mountain. Its impact instantly swept everything in that area, including the profound beast and me. And later, we knew that it had separated the continent into five."

"At that moment, I believed I was already dead, but something strange happened. I found myself standing in a white space, and there was a man with his face blurred performing a sword dance."

Hearing this, Yun Lintian immediately thought of the Fleeing Cloud Sword Emperor he had just met.

Qing Xiaoting glanced at the Heaven Piercing Sword in Yun Lintian's hand and continued. "I was fascinated by his profound sword dance and unknowingly comprehended it. Later, he seemed to notice my existence and told me that the encounter between us was predestined, and I had to protect the sword until the right owner came to take it away."

"He had also given me a portion of the sword's spirit as well as the complete Heaven Piercing Sword Art." She paused briefly and said further. "Because of them, I managed to break through the shackles of this world and entered the divine path."

Yun Lintian and the others were shocked upon hearing this.

"That means you have already stepped into the Divine Foundation Realm, Senior?" Yun Lintian asked.

Qing Xiaoting nodded gently. "Four thousand years ago, during the invasion of the Abyssal World, I borrowed the gap between these two worlds and successfully broke through to the Divine Foundation Realm. However, I could not leave this world since I needed to fulfill my duty."

Shen Liqiu suddenly said. "Now I know why Xing Tengfei and Weilan Jian didn't try to rob the sword away. It turns out they are afraid of Senior."

Qing Xiaoting shook her head slightly. "Their strength is no inferior to me. They, too, have stepped into the Divine Foundation Realm. And it's not just them. There are many top figures like them, and some of them didn't leave this world."

"They tried to take the sword away before but couldn't get into the restriction." She looked at Yun Lintian and said with a serious expression. "They will definitely come to you since you have obtained the sword."

It was at this moment that Yun Lintian thoroughly understood what kind of situation he was in. He couldn't help but smile bitterly. Although he wasn't afraid of them, being targeted by the world's top figures in all directions like this wasn't a good thing.

"Do you still want to go there?" Shen Liqiu turned to look at him.

Yun Lintian thought for a moment and said. "Definitely. However, I need to change my plan. It's better for me to go alone."

Yun Qianxue shook her head. "I will go with you."

"Me too." Shen Liqiu followed. "Don't worry about me. Since they knew my identity, they won't dare to do anything to me."

Yun Lintian's brows raised slightly. "Didn't you already leave your clan? I don't think your clan will protect you when the Star Gazing and Azure Palace come."

Shen Liqiu rolled her eyes. "You have underestimated me too much. Indeed, I have already left the clan, but they definitely protect me because I hold a lot of their secrets. If I died, they would get nothing, and it might lead the clan to demise."

"Oh?" Yun Lintian was surprised.

"Hmph! Do you think this lady doesn't have any trump card?" Shen Liqiu sneered.

"Even so, relying on others is not enough to guarantee your life." Yun Lintian retorted.

Shen Liqiu clicked her tongue in dissatisfaction. She glanced at Yun Qianxue and said. 'Then why could she go with you?… Ah!"

As she finished her sentence, Yun Qianxue suddenly appeared behind her like a ghost and grabbed her neck.

She looked into Shen Liqiu's eyes and said calmly. "Understand?"

"Cough! Cough!" As Yun Qianxue let go of her neck, Shen Liqiu coughed heavily while glaring at the former. "Isn't it just a movement technique? Can't you teach me?"

She knew that the bizarre movement technique that Yun Qianxue and Yun Lintian used was enough to escape from any peak Divine Ascending Tribulation Realm experts. Without a doubt, if they wanted to run, the enemy wouldn't be able to catch them.

"It's exclusive to my people." Yun Lintian replied with a faint smile.

"Your people? Am I not your wife?… Sure enough, men are deceitful! Hmph!" Shen Liqiu snorted aggrievedly.

Yun Lintian's face twitched slightly. Since when did you become my wife?

Seeing her pitiful appearance, he sighed softly and said. "Well, take it."

As he spoke, Yun Lintian raised his finger and sent a streak of light toward her forehead. It was a memory containing the Shadow Step technique. With the Enlightening Guidance Technique, it was impossible for her to pass it on to others in the future.

Shen Liqiu's eyes lit up. The grief she had previously vanished instantly. She quickly closed her eyes and began to comprehend the technique.

Qing Xiaoting looked at Yun Lintian and said. "You should stay here for the time being. Wait until my palace sorted everything first."

Yun Lintian thought for a moment and said. "Then I will have to trouble Senior."
